Guys, I had my '05 STi down the track 117 times, I have the slips to prove it, and narry an issue (probably double that on the street as well). The car has had 3 owners since me, has 90K on the clock, and still is issue-free...and on the stock clutch (try that with your EVO).

I think you guys have message-board-itis. Also, the type of person buying an STi and EVO are just car killers, in general, so you can't compare the numbers to that of BWM or Merc, it just doesn't work that way.

The '05 STi was, and is dead reliable, and the EJ25 with simple mods can last many years without issue. The problem is when you want to push the engine past what it should be doing, then beat on it. 375/400 in that car is plenty.
